    <P align="left">The Data Type Preview provides a preview of bytes at an address based on data
    types that you choose to view. As you move the cursor to different addresses, the Preview
    column will update with the appropriate representation for each data type. If the value in the
    <I>Preview</I> column represents a valid address, you can double-click on the <I>Preview</I>
    column and navigate to that address in the <A href=
    "help/topics/CodeBrowserPlugin/CodeBrowser.htm">Listing</A>.</P>

      <P align="left">Data types can be dragged from the <A href=

      and dropped into the Data Type Preview table. If you add a structure or union, then a row
      will be added for member of the structure or union.</P>

      <P align="left"><I><IMG border="0" src="help/shared/note.png"> The data type preview does
      not support <i>dynamic</i> data types.  However, keep in mind that not all variable-length
      data types are dynamic.  Specifically, you <b>can</b> use data types that
      implement</i> <tt>Dynamic</tt> <i>as long as they do not also extend from</i>
      <tt>DynamicDataType</tt>.</I></P>
